+Hi {{firstname}} {{lastname}},
+
+You have been {{chosen_how}} to be a new {{project}} core (if you are
+willing to accept this mission). We have been watching your commits and
+reviews and have noticed that you may be interested in a core position
+that would be granted to you (if you are willing to accept the
+responsibility of being a new core member[1] in project {{project}}).
+
+What do you think, are you able (and willing) to accept?
+
+If you have any questions, please feel free to respond or jump on
+freenode and chat with the team on channel #openstack-oslo (one of the
+other cores in oslo usually around).
+
+This message will self-destruct in 5 seconds.
+
+Sincerely,

+The Oslo Team
